5 Errors That Can Ruin Your Red Velvet
Feb 17, 2025 6:46 am
Hello ,
There is nothing that pains as much as having your ingredients wasted in trying to bake a delicious cake. This can ruin both for you and your customers, if the cake is meant for a customer.
Red Velvet cake looks simple but yet it comes with a lot of hidden technicalities that you may be ignoring without even realizing it.
So if you have Red Velvet Cake to bake this period and beyond, here are the 5 errors to avoid:
1. Too much Cocoa Powder: this will affect the taste & also give your cake a very dark brownish color thereby nullifying the essence of the RED.
2. Too much baking powder: will lead to a rise and fall giving you a collapse cake & in some cases your cake develops gigantic holes making the cake lose its velvety texture.
3. Too much baking soda: neither you nor your customers will like this at all! It will give your cake a chemical or soapy taste.
4. Using bitter powdered red food color: or even very harsh gel food color can leave a chemical after taste.
5. Adding red food color to vanilla cake batter: unfortunately this is not a red velvet cake recipe.
If you have been improvising like this for a long time because you don’t have a standard Red Velvet Cake Recipe, you will need to get a better recipe that yields great results. My Classic Red Velvet Cake is a great fit, it never fails me!
